| A well-produced and recorded classical guitar LP? Thanks, all. Ordered the Eliot Fisk LP from discogs! | |
| Triangle speakers Beautiful sounding speakers! Musical, alive, and yet mellow enough to disappear. I've had the Titus and Celius models and loved them. Sold them only to move to Maggies. | |
| Triode Corp or Line Magnetic? They're both superbly made lines. Robert Lee, the designer of Acoustic Zen, uses Triode Corp as his reference components; his speakers are voiced with them in mind. LM is globally lauded.It all depends on what speakers you're driving and what watt... | |
| Why are you into hi end audio? Because if I never saw a screen again I'd be fine. But it if I could never hear music... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Then again, how many of these artists dictate their prices vs. having a set fee and the venue dictating the prices to recoup that fee plus expenses? | |
| Got My First Tubes ! What the heck do I do now!?!?! (Nube status) Congrats! You have a well-regarded, classic receiver there. Here’s what I’d do: - assuming you have no idea how old the tubes are, invest in some new ones. Your outputs are 7591’s, while your inputs are 12xax7’s. For the former:https://www.thetube... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @n80 - I mean, my great aunt and uncle were the founders of Angel Records, and the latter was the Chair of the Met. They spearheaded classical recording, classical fidelity, and identification of and signing of classical artists. This was, of cour... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." Actually, the author DOES support that analog is superior to digital- and that digital had to recreate itself through added warmth, etc. I think his most salient point is now that the record label hierarchy has crumbled and that the under-30 gener... | |
| Casual PC speakers for music The speakers should be at ear level; you can put a few shims or something like those under the front of each speaker so they tilt up at your ears. Room behind is a bit important important; you don't want them right against the wall. give them as m... | |
| Bookshelf Recommendations I've only heard/owned the Ref 3A and Sonus Faber of those mentioned by @tomic601, but they're both superb choices. The LSA-1, if you can find a pair, punches way above its price point. | |
| Streaming music using Oppo 105 Agreed. Oppo supports only Tidal. You'd have to use a streamer feeding into the Oppo (and thus using the Oppo as a pre- and DAC). What quality level are you using for Tidal? Their HiFi and Masters options make a huge difference in quality over the... | |
| Casual PC speakers for music Those Yamahas get decent reviews. Also, you might try Audioengine A2+ or A5+. Those are simply phenomenal. Btw - ignore the snarkiness and enjoy the music. | |
| How many brands use own drivers? I believe Goldenear also has their own drivers | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Peter Gabriel - Passiona bit compressed dynamically, but sounds beautiful through the Oppo | |
| Kids during audition - aaaaagh!! I've been in this same situation as the OP - with similar frustration and incomprehension. And I wonder of this is an accurate analogy?- What if a friend invited me over to see her newly acquired projector, made by Technology Company Z, with simpl... |
